New scam: wells Fargo texts you a login page. My mortgage was Wells. But I no longer have that! So, hit delete. Don't tellit what your login is!

1. Any interaction with Wells Fargo should be assumed to be fraudulent.

They are a criminal organization.

2. Wells Fargo bank never does that. Period.

Anything of that nature comes from a scammer, not the bank. The bank never uses texts or links in email when communicating with its customers. No bank does.

Scammers, on the other hand, do that all the time.

3. Have some fun -

Login with a fake use and pw and see what happens. ha

4. In all likelihood it infects your device with a virus

They don't care what your user name and password are. You shouldn't click on fraudulent links, since the entire point is to get you to do that much so that your device can be subject to a drive-by download of something that is either going to be harmful to your device or enlist your device in a botnet.

5. Maybe -

and you have a point but I think their primary goal would be to get banking info. :/

6. Thank you

My identity was stolen in September. An account was opened at Truist Bank (BB&T). $330 was withdrawn from the account and the account was closed. Then, the "perp" deposited the money in the Lending Bank. Sensing an issue, Lending Bank sent the money back and closed that account. I have now been hit with scams from several banks online and have notified the credit agencies of the issues. It's pathetic that someone can create havoc, get money where there is no money, and walk away.

7. This scam has been around for a long time

Not just with Wells Fargo, but with many companies. I assume the purpose is to get you to enter your login information, which is captured and can then be used to steal your funds, in the case of a bank, or order goods using your stored credit card, in the case of online stores.

8. I got one of those scam emails and knew immediately it wasn't real

I’ve also got one from Facebook asking for my log in.

At the bottom of the email no address or fdic label.
